- Quotes
Elsa Dorfman: It was so embarrassing not to be anything. I wasn't married, so you had to be called something when people said what are you doing. In those days, it was mortifying not to be married, so I had to have a thing, so what could be better? My camera! I'm a photographer!

Featured review
Looking Back
A peacefully satisfying and nicely edited off-camera interview which reveals the life and life's work of a portrait photographer, most of whose work was uniquely captured using one of the 5 (or so) huge 20x24 inch Polaroid cameras. Her portrait sittings consisted of two poses, and having lovingly saved the print not chosen/purchased by each client, she reflects on these 'b- side' but powerful images beginning in the early 70's of everyday people, a few of the famous, and many of herself and her family.
